skin contains melanin and you hair doesn't


If you're concentrated while looking up and putting mascara on, you're mouth tends to open. If you're actually concentrated on keeping you're mouth shut. You're mouth won't open...........

It is because of its source, from Late Latin abbreviātiōn, from ab ‘from’ + brevis ‘short’ + -ion ‘action’. It is definitely not intended to be that long, judging from its word origin...Not like the word, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, the fear of long words, which is intentionally lengthened.

The word 'practice' has many meanings listed in the dictionary. One of them is: The exercise of a profession.

to Start the shut down process ...

Lemons are hard on the enamel, but not on the dishes?
